Different for people: No matter how much anxiety you have, it is always going to be different for you than it is for another person. This is why you need to work closely with a therapist who can help manage your meds, both in type and dosage. Find a mental health pratitioner who works with other patients who have similar conditions. Start by getting a referral from your physician or np; online searches may help, too.
